The Beatles recorded "Come Together" when they were falling apart.

Syd Barrett showed up during the Wish You Were Here recordings.

^^^ I am saying that his good ole days are right now compared to back when the song first got released in late 2008. I've heard him speak about how things are now compared to back then now that full control of his career is in his hands. 😄 😄 😄

God bless you and James always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Dear Holly, are you suggesting with this instance that JO's best days are behind him, and that he'll never make another Shake What God Gave Ya or Sunset Man?

Or is the irony that he'll be hailed by critics and historians twenty years from now as a cultural icon with the career arc of Jim Morrison?

A thread for lyrics which take on new meanings in light of new information, or developments in the artist's career, or just changing social perspectives.

Such as, for example, Milli Vanilli's assertion that you know it's "true", when they happened to be lip synching the entire time, basically every song from the 80's in light of rape culture, or just this in its entirety.
